I think as a whole, our society places undue emphasis on acquiring 'stuff'. But what do you do with all this stuff? Being a minimalist isn't being strange, it's a rejection of societal pressure to be something that has no logical or moral resolution: an impulsive consumer.

You're not the only one. It's difficult to be a minimalist in a society that finds a distinct lack of material lust to be a defect of character. But like the article says, most of society doesn't live up to it's own definition of normal.
